Denver Deluxe and 7 Other Events to Attend This Week

The weather will be nice and the streets will be full this week because Denver has a lot on the calendar.

ArC — Artistic Currents at the Dairy Arts Center

The Low Down: ArC is a new Colorado Music Festival series that partners up with American cellist Joshua Roman to create three unique performances that include music, dance and theater. The first performance of the series called “we do it to one another” is a poetry performance in which Roman sets original music to the Pulitzer Prize-winning collection of poetry by Tracy K. Smith. This performance will kick off the series this Saturday and will be followed by the other two performances in the upcoming weekends.

The Low Down: Celebrate the 100th anniversary of our country’s national park by soaring over them through this 3D IMAX experience at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. Explore parks including Yellowstone, Yosemite, Grand Canyon and more. This event runs until September 22.

The Denver Deluxe

The Low Down: Delicious burgers, cold beers and good music can all be found at The Denver Deluxe this weekend. Park Burger will be shutting down an entire block of Walnut street to make room for a beer garden, a stage and burger stands. The Denver Deluxe supports Denver Urban Gardens (DUG), a local non-profit committed to developing sustainable, food-producing neighbor hood community gardens across Denver.

GORUCK Scavenger

The Low Down: GORUCK is more than just a fitness challenge — it uses military tactics, equipment and exercises to push your physique to its limit. In typical GORUCK challenges the participants work as a team to hike while carrying extremely heavy bags of sand or rocks, swim across freezing waters, or sometimes travel with an enormous log across their shoulders, and other similar activities. However, Denver’s GORUCK Scavenger is a little more laid back. The teams will be given a “Hit List” — a list of places around the city to check out. “It is part team-building, part city tour and all fun.” Drink some beers, make new friends, and get to know Denver in a whole new way.
